logon.js won't show logonXX.seq files

I create a logon1.seq logon2.seq etc to show petscii logon screens (also test with logonX.40col.seq) I also have the current logon1.asc,logon2.asc etc..that work fine.

I noteice that at logon procedure always show these .asc files instead of the .seq files for 40 columns connections (Pet40port)

    // Print successively numbered logon screens (logon, logon1, logon2, etc.)
    var highest_printed_logon_screen=-1;
    for(var i=0;;i++) {
        var fname="logon";
        if(i)
            fname+=i;
        if(!bbs.menu_exists(fname)) {
            if(i>1)
                break;
            continue;
        }
        bbs.menu(fname);
        highest_printed_logon_screen = i;
    }

bbs.menu() works at main menu prompt, it show the main.40col.seq file whitout problem

changed the description

Works for me. I created logon.seq and it displays during logon (instead of logon.asc or logon.msg or logon.ans)

THIS IS LOGON.SEQ  

I did notice that it's not auto-screen pausing after display logon*.seq however. I'll look into that.

mentioned in commit 09a32c0d

i Have this setup:

The logonX files are symlinks to some ansi files. When I connect on port 64 I don't see the logon.seq file. but the logon.asc

I try to copy logon.seq to severals logonX.seq with no luck

only the logons screen part fail, then onliners, sbbslist and main menu is fine:

1. You should not symlink .asc (ASCII) files to .ans (ANSI) files. That is not going to produce the expected results. Either convert those .ans files to .msg or .asc and use those instead or have a separate version for non-ANSI terminals (named either .msg or .asc).

2. You don't have a .seq files for every .asc file, so I would expect the logon3 through logon6.asc files (which are actually symlinks to ANSI files) to be sent to a PETSCII terminal. That's how you have it setup.

I would expect the logon1.seq and logon2.seq files to be displayed however. Did you check your scroll-back?

thanks!! i will fix the mixed filenames. For now, I can see the logon.seq on port 64 connect =)
